I've two problems with WSBK.
Firstly I don't really like the format, I prefer the GP style Q1 Q2 qualifying and single race compared to the two races and superpole or whatever the WSBK qualifying format is called. I could probably get used to it if I gave it a go.
Secondly, I'm pretty invested in GP now, I've been following it closely for the last 6 years or so, and less closely for another 2 of 3 before then. I've seen racers come through the classes, I just get it all. I tried following WSBK on top last year to see how some of the faces I knew from GP were getting on, but keeping up with two race series' was too much!
Maybe I'll give it a go again some time, but not this year. ____________________ I am a bellend, I am a man of constant sorrow, I am a gummy bear, I am a rock. |

It happens in all motor sport, once the best rider/driver ends up on the best machine it does become monotonous.
MotoGP has been heading that way with MM93.
I'd like to see MM93 on a different manufacturers' bike but with him being Spanish, the same as Dorna, they've bent the rules for him numerous times already, so that's not going to be happening anytime soon.
I prefer watching the WSS and Moto3, to the so called main events, it's always much closer racing!
One of the problems with WSBK, this year in particular, is that despite their denials, Ducati are not developing the current bike, they're obviously tinkering with the new V4. ____________________ "Everybody needs money, that's why they call it money!" |

I'll watch any bike racing on the telly - WSBK, MotoGP, BSB, any road racing. Christ knows, it's better than the other crap they put on.
I am tired of Jonathan Rea's seeming invincibility too, but as Sid says, you see it in all racing at one time or another. But each one is capable of producing the odd classic ding-dong. ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

I kind of egg on Alex Lowes - a Brit on a Yamaha. Then Van Der Mark. I have a soft spot for Yamaha.
Strange thing is, if I could still ride sports bikes, I probably wouldn't have an R1 ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Old Thread Alert!
